My editor, who is twenty-nothing and addicted to ’90s R&B, feels that SFK are tedious and maudlin elder statesmen of Australian rock who are now so adult contemporary that they don’t warrant serious discussion. Like Paul Kelly or Crowded House, they are fixed in a certain respectable place with devoted fans and other passively supportive people and it doesn’t really matter what they do – they won’t be gracing the cover of NME any time soon, but they will always be an Important Australian Rock Band. The thing is, this single sounds energetic and invigorated and catchy to me. Either SFK have injected an extra whoop of life into Leave Your Soul To Science or our tandem decline into middle age has ruined my perspective, ie I am so old, I don’t know what the fuck is going on anymore.
